@jinglepostman @KarenStrickholm Thank you both for the wonderful list of book recommendations.@wdlindsy Oh, that's heartbreaking! and their son had to grow up without his mother. I hope her family reconciled before she died.
Where in Massachusetts did they come from? I have Mass. roots. -
@jinglepostman @KarenStrickholm Thank you both for the wonderful list of book recommendations.@wdlindsy @KarenStrickholm For a short time I was in a book club where we didn't all read the same book, we just brought whatever we'd been reading and talked about it, and if ready to part with the book, offer it to anyone who was interested. I still laugh remembering the poet who had been reading a pamphlet!

Meanwhile, speaking of policy, of which Trump has none, J.D.@wdlindsy @KarenStrickholm Not a scholar, but I'm enjoying listening in to this conversation. In high school it appeared to me that to major in English would mean having to dissect everything in a clinical way and I wanted reading to be fun, so I got a BA in European history. (A choice probably founded on my early love of cobalt blue and gold art in the medieval galleries at the Met, where we were taken as children.) (As I say, not a scholar!)
